Savory Biscuits | Khara Biscuits (Eggless)

Every one loves the sweet cookies or biscuits but there are many who equally devour the savory version too..I fall among the later category & so love these biscuits more than the sweet ones.These biscuits are real flavorful ones with all spices and herbs.Though I always had these from stores as a kid never thought to try these,but now when I tried these they are much more tastier than the store brought ones.They have a mildly sweet,spicy and salty taste and are crunchy.To all savory biscuit lovers,this is special treat ,check this out!!

Method
-Sift the flours together ,add salt,sugar,sesame seeds,pepper powder,fennel seeds,baking soda.Mix well.Soften the butter and add to it.Knead to a dough like bread crumbs.
-Add all the remaining ingredients and knead to a dough as for chapathis.
-Lightly flour the surface and roll the dough in to a big chapati with 1/4 '' thickness.
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a tray with parchment paper.
-Using a bottle cap or cookie cutters ,cut desired shapes.
-Place each biscuit on the tray and place it in the oven.
-Bake for 15-20mins. Note the lightly browning on the cookies.Cool on wire rack for 10-15minutes and serve with tea/coffee !!

Servings ~15-20 biscuits

NOTES
* You can use all purpose flour alone too.
*Wait for the cookies to cool down completely otherwise you will not get the crunchy touch.
* You can add chopped mint leaves and 2tbsp of yogurt instead of milk.
